Speech #570004515

I find. by looking up the recordsand I will say to the Senator from Maine that I have taken the last legislative appropriation act in order to get the figures correctthat the number is as follows. I refer simply to the employees in the Government bureaus in Washington and not to those in the field. In the LifeSaving Service there are 29 employees who are transferred to this department by the pending bill. in the LightHouse Board. 32. in the MarineHospital Service. 29. in the SteamboatInspection Service. 7. in the Bureau of Navigation. 21. in the Bureau of Immigration. 7. in the Bureau of Statistics. 37. in the Coast and Geodetic Survey. 124. This makes a total of 286 employees taken from the Treasury Department out of a total force of 4.595. Now. take the Interior Department.
